An exact date and venue for the card were not named, but a HeavyMMA.com report cites Washington, D.C. as the likely host of the event on Oct. 1. However, sources close to the event informed MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) that our nation’s
capital is just one of several cities currently under consideration for
the event and that nothing is yet concrete.

UFC officials were not immediately available for comment when contacted by MMAjunkie.com.

The Brenneman vs. Johnson bout, as well as the potential for a new event, were reported earlier today.

UFC on Versus 6’s main card airs on Versus, though it’s not clear if Danzig vs. Wiman and Brenneman vs. Johnson will be part of the broadcast.

Danzig looks to avenge an infamous loss to Wiman from a June 2010 UFC 115 event, where referee Yves Lavigne stopped the bout via technical submission. Danzig, who didn’t appear to be in any real trouble, immediately jumped to his feet to protest, but the stoppage had already been made.

It’s the only blemish on Danzig’s past three trips to the cage, which also include a decision win over Justin Buchholz and a “Knockout of the Night” victory over Joe Stevenson.

His opponent, Wiman, likely was hoping for a different rematch after suffering a hotly contested decision loss to Dennis Siver at UFC 132. The result snapped a three-fight win streak for Wiman, who previously had defeated Cole Miller, Danzig and Shane Nelson. A high-energy fighter, Wiman once scored three straight “Fight of the Night” bonuses during a stretch between 2008 and 2009.

Brenneman, of course, took advantage of Nate Marquardt’s recent
misfortune by stepping in on just one day’s notice in the co-feature of
June’s UFC on Versus 4 event. Brenneman outwrestled Rick Story, who was a
replacement for an injured Johnson, en route to a unanimous-decision
win in front of a home-state crowd. Brenneman now is 9-1 in his past 10 fights, which includes a 3-1 mark in the
octagon. The lone loss in that stretch was a UFC 117 defeat at the hands
of Johny Hendricks.

Meanwhile, Johnson returns to action after a March decision win over Dan
Hardy. The UFC Fight Night 24 victory was Johnson’s first action in 16
months after knee troubles forced him to the sidelines for more than a
year. Despite the periods of inactivity, the massive Johnson is 4-1 in his past five UFC fights.

In this week’s Trading Shots, Danny Downes and Ben Fowlkes look at Ronda Rousey’s 34-second victory over Bethe Correia at UFC 190 and try to put it into terms that capture the moment without getting swept away by it.

A total of 26 fighters got their chance to shine on Saturday as part of UFC 190 at Rio de Janeiro’s HSBC Arena. Now that UFC 190 is in the books, it’s time to commence MMAjunkie’s “Three Stars” ceremony.

The man known for cranking submissions to the point of injury added eye-gouging to his repertoire. But is the controversy of Rousimar Palhares too essential to his bizarre, awful appeal for his employers to take any meaningful action against him?
